Librarians today face unique challenges in the collection development process for communication studies. These challenges include limited collection budgets, an interdisciplinary subject area, the rapid progression and metamorphosis of the disciplines within communication studies and the increasing significance of additional media formats. To assist the collection development needs of librarians in this area, we have created the Library Resources for Communication Studies web page. It provides resources for librarians providing collection development in the area of communication studies. The Book Reviews/Book Lists section contains general information on acquisitions/book lists and book review sources. The Publishers and Vendors section is an international directory of commercial and academic book publishers as well as vendors of documentary videos. It includes links to relevant web sites and email addresses. The Bibliography section includes a select list of journal articles and books devoted to the collection development process. The Library Resources for Communication Studies web page is a starting point in the collection development process for library staff working in an academic, public or private library or information center. We hope the resources it takes you to will help you to do your job and in so doing, improve librarianship among communication studies librarians everywhere.
